The largest segment of the American population are poor whites from the south, so clearly this issue of disenfranchisement is bigger then mere racism alone. This is what hints me towards accepting some so-called consipiracies.

Although I do understand why the label is used because there are many (at best) paranoid and (at worse) self-serving loose cannons that don't bother to get the facts straight, I don't subscribe to all of the implied connotations arising from the use of the derogatory term.
